Seattle Report

I just got back from a conference in Seattle. Some observations:

Despite my plans to bring back a bucket of rain as a souvenir symbolic of Seattle, it didn't rain once while I was there. I brought back a Starbucks coffee cup instead.

Speaking of which, all locations in downtown Seattle have a line of sight path to a Starbucks.

They have good croissants.

The airport's second language was Japanese.

I can only assume, then, that the Japanese word for "Main Terminal" is "Main Terminal."

There was a guy on a street corner shouting about how everyone was going to hell for some sin or another. A street punk was yelling at that guy. A Ron Paul sign holder was having his own verbal altercation with some folks. It felt just like home.

You know, it's funny that you mention the guy shouting things about going to hell... that happens a lot here in D.C., namely at Dupont Circle. I find your comments about not coming back with a bucket of rain to be very humorous.

By the way, your e-mail address is the coolest thing since sliced bread. Sporks are great, and even better is your e-mail addy. Keep the posts coming.
